Q mock draft: Week 26

Teddy Bridgewater remains a Top 5 pick

Louisville’s pro day wasn’t a good day for Teddy Bridgewater. Bridgewater didn’t throw the football like the top quarterback prospect is expected to in that particular setting.

In a class where the talent of the quarterbacks was already in question, Bridgewater’s poor performance only added to the growing uncertainty regarding the game’s most important position for May’s NFL draft.

Here’s the reality, though: a pro day is a small portion of the evaluation process. Teams interested in Bridgewater won’t exactly be thrilled with his performance, but they won’t be scared away from him as a prospect based on one bad day.

What became apparent as Bridgewater’s errant and wobbly passes wafted through the air is there is no standout talent at quarterback in this year’s draft class. As a result, the quarterbacks will be rated differently based on each team’s preference and system.

Despite all of that, Bridgewater should still be considered a potential Top 10 selection. One team, in particular, that would be a good fit for him — and vice versa — is the Oakland Raiders.

*Draft order was determined by record, strength of schedule and playoff results. The slotting for the Cowboys and the Ravens was decided by a coin flip due to identical records and opponent strength of schedules.
